The ambitious venture, which hopes to revolutionize the gaming world by removing the need to continually upgrade PC hardware or buy new gaming consoles every generation, makes use of cloud computing -- doing all of the game's video and audio processing on remote servers, then streaming the resultant images and sound back to the user quickly enough to play games in real time.

^don't worry it won't take off. people need to actually own the physical copy of the game, that's why the game consoles are so popular. and i don't think it will work properly, what about the lag, and how much bandwidth will this eat? think about it, 12 million people trying to play cod4, all of them wanting to play with each other. sure this idea working in concept, but communism works in concept, and we all know how well that turned out. there are still a shit load of UN answered questions, and i don't think that really big ass blockbusters will come out for this thing. the only online gaming store thing that i see actually working really good is steam, even if you delete the game from your hdd, you can download that shit again free of charge.

good idea, but there is almost a complete lack of infrastructure to support it. there is the possibility that this will work if (boy that's a big if) the plans to give everyone in the states internet access actually works.
